We analyse the Molecular Jet-hypothesis proposed by Morel & Bachouchi (1988, J. theor. Biol. 132, 83.). This hypothesis attempts to explain the movement of covaspheres that contain myosin heads attached to actin filaments. This movement occurs during muscle contraction. However, the hypothesis does
The mechanism of muscle contraction is considered. The hydrolysis of an ATP molecule is assumed to produce the excitation of hydrogen bonds A--H..-B between electronegative atoms A and B, which are contained in the myosin head and actin filament. This excitation energy ef depends on the interatomic
Smooth muscle cells squeeze Ihe blood back to your heart, raise the hackles on your neck and change the F-stop of your eyes. The past year has provided penetrating new insights into their mechanism of contraction.
